notified, are not applicable to the case in point, because there was no final decision of any kind with regard to the remedies put into play. In accordance with the terms of Article 38.2 of its Regulations, the Commission considers that the petition was presented within a reasonable period of time following the date on which the human rights violation occurred. The events took place on May 26, 1994, and the complaint was filed with the Commission on July 1 of the same year. During the time that lapsed between those two dates, the petitioners reasonably awaited the results ensuing from the judicial investigation. When they observed the irregularity of the investigations and the fact that they were not producing effective results, they decided to petition the Commission, but it cannot be maintained that they did so in an unreasonable period of time, in impairment of legal certainty. THE INTER-AMERICAN COMMISSION ON HUMAN RIGHTS, RESOLVES: 1. To declare the present case Nº 11.324 admissible. 2. To place itself at the disposal of the parties, with a view to submitting the case to proceedings for a friendly settlement, based on respect for the human rights recognized in the American Convention. To this end, the parties are granted a period of ninety days to communicate to the Commission whether they are willing to submit the matter to proceedings of this sort. 3. For the purposes of moving forward in investigating the events denounced, and pursuant to Article 67.1 and 2 of its Regulations, the Commission invites the parties to hold a hearing during its session scheduled to take place in October of this year. 4. To notify the interested parties of this decision. 5. To continue processing this case. 6. To publish this report in the Annual Report to the General Assembly of the OAS. 4
